Ciekazoy Epilogue: In the Name of Similitude 308 VY.Mudimbe Index 325 Studies of the media in Africa, incorporating both African and international perspectives, are few. This volume demonstrates how media outlets are used to perpetuate, question or modify unequal power relations between the North and the South, and how globalization is being countered by local responses. Contributors discuss the construction of old and new social and media entities in terms of class, gender, ethnicity, political and economic differences, wealth, poverty, cultural behaviour, language and religion. Many of the papers were originally presented at a seminar organized and hosted by the Kenya-based Twaweza Communications and the International African Institute. John Middleton (1921-2009) was professor (emeritus from 1991) of Anthropology- and Religious Studies at Yale University. He passed away just as this volume, his last major project on Africa, was going to press. He was an Honorary Fellow of the International African Institute, making a vital contribution over several decades. He was Editor of its journal Africa from 1973 to 1979· Kimani Njogu is Director of Twaweza Communications and former Associate Professor of African Languages at Kenyatta University in Kenya. Other contributors include Abdalla Uba Adamu, Kelly Askew, Walter Bgoya. Birgit Meyer, Alamin Mazrui. Goretti Linda Nassanga. Francis Nyamnjoh. V. Y. Mudimbe and Paul Tivambe Železa.
